The Climbers by Carmen Nasr
'In the death zone, your body starts eating itself. Time and space disappear. It's impossible to remember what happens up there.' When Yasmin and her guide, Tshering, return from a perilous expedition to Everest without a member of their party, they have a lot of questions to answer. Where is Yasmin's husband Charlie? What happened on the mountain? Why do Yasmin and Tshering's accounts differ so drastically? As private investigator Connie tries to distinguish hallucination from reality, and fact from delusion, it's clear that someone, somewhere, is not telling the truth. Set at an altitude where life hangs by a thread, Carmen Nasr's play The Climbers is a thrilling exploration of the lure of the mountains, the drive to conquer and the price of staying alive. It was first performed in June 2022 at Theatre by the Lake, Keswick, directed by Guy Jones.'Fascinating.. a gripping story with just the right level of humour and hope in it... hauntingly beautiful'
* Northern Arts Review *'A brilliant new play... moving and exceptional... beautifully captures the joy and passion of climbing, and the complexity of a relationship'
* Cumbria24.com *'A chilling drama that brings Everest terrifyingly close to us... thrilling and atmospheric'
* Mag North *'Thrilling... utterly rewarding... an enthralling study of love, passion, ambition, break-ups and the drive to succeed whatever the odds'
